    Starfield. Kinda. It’s not sucking me in like literally every other Bethesda RPG has. I find myself playing for only like 1-2 hours at a time, and having fun while doing so but also just kinda not sure what I really want to do, because everything I know I want to try is locked behind some high tier skills, so I’m just trying to level up to do that shit and often just wander aimlessly looking for a quest that is more than just under a minute of my time to complete. I’ve done 3 semi-major quest lines so far (UC Vanguard, Freestar Rangers, and Ryujin) and they were pretty short for faction quests.

    Currently Final Fantasy XV, honestly I want to like this game but it feels like such a chore to play and it’s really disheartening.

    It has the spirit but honestly I am about to turn off the voices because they talk WAY too much and WAY too repetitively.

    Also the side quests are way too unbalanced and the distance and time to take to go back and forth.

    The day/night cycle is a bit intrusive though and it goes way too quickly imo.

    The Chocobo riding is adorable and I love seeing “Con KWEH tulations!” as it makes me want to keep going.

    It’s my fourth time trying to play the game and I’m further than I was at Chapter 4, but I need something soon to keep me going.

    The chocobo’s may be the saving grace haha

    Finally completed Gears of War 5, was a great ride, not a big an emotional impact as. Some of the older games but it was compelling and enjoyable. Just downloaded Stratfield and set up the character, played the first half hour… hoping for those choices to have an impact, but from what I’m reading, is not maybe a good as I was hoping.

    I am playing Railbound after it got on sale this week. Some of the extra levels are really hard and I have yet to find a solution.

    Overall it is a fun little game which works great on the Steam Deck.

    Had a few day just doing my other hobby and feels like not wanting to continue where i left off in Project Zomboid, so i downloaded My Time At Portia that i got from Epic for free. So far it feels like MMO where a lot of crafting is behind timer and the majority of the game is having you craft this gather that, and the interface is all very MMO-ey and they did not try to hide it, but i love it! Perfect game for a long day of work where i just want to shut off and enjoy instead of stressing from the intensity of playing video games.

    I thought i would drop it quick because it’s a free game, as i drop remnant from the ashes and sonic mania pretty quickly, and i got both for free as well.

    I finally broke the shackles of Baldurs Gate 3, and now I’m playing… Split screen Baldurs Gate 3 with my wife! It’s genuinely just so good…

    Still playing Starfield. I don’t see myself being done for a while.

    Me and my gf have just finished baldurs gate 3. Well, we think we have. It has crashed twice during the cutscene after what we assume is the final boss fight. Bit of a letdown at the end of an otherwise fantastic game. Also played about 10hrs of starfield. It is definitely a bethesda game. I am having fun with it though!

    Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and Tarkov, I tried Starfield, but it felt flat and boring and dropped it after a couple of hours. Went back straight to BG3

    Just downloaded Guild Wars 2, never played before but the review from Skill Up convinced me to give it a try ✌️

      As a gw2 veteran (in the sense of owning the game for a long time, not that I am very good at it) I’m pretty sure you’ll like it! I honestly feel sad for how overlooked GW2 is…

      The community is great, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you’re stuck on a quest or a puzzle. More often than not people will go out of their way to help you!

      Never heard of skill up but now I’m curious about their review :)

      Edit: I haven’t tried the new Xpack yet, but I’ve heard it’s great! Might buy it later on discount since I’m not planning on playing for a couple of months at least.

    Aaaaand I discovered time dilation playing Oxygen Not Included.

    “10PM : I’ll just build this real quick, then I’ll go to bed”

    […]

    “3AM : oh…”

    Diablo 4. Honestly not bad, I kind of get some of the hate, but it’s super early days and as long Blizzard doesn’t turn it into mtx hell, it could go the Eternal Collection route in a few years.

    Curious to see what endgame looks like.
